arat, Su. 7, this being surprisingly connected with a corrupt form for ataft occurring in Su, XVII. 42. The entire text up to the end of the declensional section of Nagara Ap. is thus confused and hopelessly corrupt.

So is the reading of Mss. but B reads
; moreover B includes in the couplet which is not only inappropriate, but also violates metrical rule; hence the separation.
N. B. The passage under reference is a very controversial one. Grierson, in his article, "The Prakrit Vibhasas" (see JRAS, 1918, p. 497) attempting to give a sensible interpretation of the passage, writes thus:
"Much of what follows is quite incomprehensible to me, and even where I attempt to give Skt. equivalents to the Pkt., I do so only with great hesitation., In the first place, as we shall see from the various readings, the text is far from certain, and in the second place the language is designedly incorrect and intended to be more or less nonsense. Even if the text were certainly established, there would still, therefore, be the widest room for conjecture, for Mk. has given no clue as to what he intended the meaning to be. Moreover, there is no context to guide us. The passages evidently come from some dramatic work which I have failed to identify. Other extracts, apparently from the same play, occur in the preceding Sutras. One passage quoted in Su. 6 does occur in Mrcchakatika, but in Su. 8 another stated by Mk. to come from that play, has not been found in either of the printed editions consulted by me. ...
Here I give the variants of both Mss. and B along with the interpretation of Grierson of the corresponding lines in order to have a correet picture of the whole thing.
